Amazon Affiliate Program: The Best Tips and Tricks
We'll show you the best tips on how to make money with the Amazon Affiliate Program. All you have to do is link products to Amazon - and you will then be involved in the profit.
Tips for the Amazon affiliate program: there is so much money
With the Amazon affiliate program, you can earn money on your website through advertising. For example, if you test a product and link to the purchase offer on Amazon, Amazon will involve you in all sales made from your website. These can be completely different products than the linked product - the customer only has to be forwarded from your website to Amazon.
- Inconspicuous, effective advertising: Advertising through the Amazon affiliate program can be integrated very well into articles - a simple purchase link to Amazon, for example for a test report, is useful for the reader and brings you advertising revenue.
- Up to 10% participation: Depending on the product category, you will participate in the sale with a different percentage. The participation in smartphones or television is only 1%, in the area of clothing and digital products you get a whole 10%. You can find the complete overview here.
How to register as an Amazon partner
You can register for the service free of charge on the partner program website. We'll show you the process step by step.
- After clicking on "Register now for free" you can register on the left with your existing Amazon user data. If you are not yet an Amazon customer, you can also create a new account here.
- After logging in, you must select your billing address from the saved addresses or enter a new address. The next step is to provide information about your website: Information such as unique users per month, general categories or the URLs are required. When you have entered your information, you can send your registration.
- Your account will now be assigned an ID that Amazon can use to match purchases. All you have to do now is add the ID at the end of the links to Amazon on your website. If you click on the link and then make a purchase, you will share in the income.
- The amount won is paid out 60 days later to a registered account or as an Amazon shopping voucher.
The best tips for increasing profits
With the right content, you can get your website users to shop faster on Amazon - for example, through test reports or product comparisons.
- Promotions and special offers: Informing your readers about a special offer on Amazon generates a lot more attention than a simple product presentation. In addition, you can be sure that the customer actually buys the product from Amazon and does not look for an alternative shop.
- Reviews are a great way to place inconspicuously meaningful Amazon links. The link is an enrichment for the customer because he can immediately purchase the tested product.
- With different tracking IDs that you can generate, you can compare the success of different article types - use a different ID when comparing products than in a test report. So you can quickly see what kind of articles are most worthwhile. You should also use your own ID for YouTube videos.
- If you only have a small website with a regular readership, you can also ask for their support: Unlike with Google Ads, you can explicitly point out the links and your associated profit with the Amazon partner program. A small text like "Support me by making your Amazon purchase through this link" can do a lot.
